The article discloses the problem of the women reproductive health in the Novgorod region. Intensive study of the annual reports of the Health Protection Committee for the last 11 years was done. Besides, analysis of 150 questionnaires of the women in childbirth was carried on; determination of the harmoniums status and two detoxication genes was inspected among 100 reproductive women in Borovichi and Staraya Russa areas. The identified deflections of the showings and taking into account ecological reproductive principles will allow reaching really solid decisions not only in social sphere, but also in obstetrics and environmental protection.

For the future life of young people their scientific education will allow them to live and act adequately in a society influenced by the ideas and values of science. Therefore, in the center of many educational systems an emphasis is placed on forming and developing scientific literacy in students. Inquiry-based approach in education is one of the important means for its formation and development as it puts the students in a situation where they carry out research activity, describe and analyze its results. In this article is presented an attempt to use inquiry-based approach in the study of chemical processes in Chemistry and environmental protection in the 10th. class. For its implementation a methodical model for application of scientific approach based on constructivist theories in education is developed. The results of a conducted experimental training for the determination of the expediency of the model are presented. A test is developed for establishing the training of students with an emphasis on scientific literacy. Testing results show that the developed methodical model creates good conditions for the development of scientific literacy.

Water Quality Objectives

In 1983 the National Agency for Environmental Protection in Denmark published guiding regulations for water quality planning, based upon the rules in the Environmental Protection Act of 1974 with recent changes in 1982. The planning system contains three steps - determination of water quality objectives, calculation of discharge consents and control activities. A list of suggested quality objectives for rivers, lakes and coastal waters is included as well as a strategy for handling discharges of chemical compounds not originally found in the water.

Abstract Introduction In 2015, Dutch healthcare expenditure exceeded 85 billion euros. But what about prevention? In this study we estimated national expenditure on prevention. A distinction was made between health protection, health promotion and disease prevention. In the estimation of prevention expenditures, this study is limited to universal, selective and indicated prevention, as healthcare-related prevention can hardly be distinguished from curative care. This study analyzed expenditure on preventive activities in the Netherlands in 2015 and took a societal perspective. Methods We used various sources to investigate spending on prevention in 2015. Insofar as costs were part of healthcare expenditure, estimates were based on the Care Accounts of Statistics Netherlands. For the remainder, we estimated expenditure using annual reports and annual accounts of governments and other organizations. We included preventive activities by consumers, industry, NGOs, insurance companies, and government. Results In 2015, an estimated € 12.4 billion (1.8% of the GDP) was spent on prevention: € 2.4 billion on disease prevention (19%), € 0.6 billion on health promotion (5%) and € 9.4 billion on health protection (76%). This is a decrease of 17% compared to 2007, the last year that a similar estimate was made. Within health promotion, the largest expenditure was for working conditions and safety: € 160 million. € 67 million was spent on mental disorders. The largest expenditure item within disease prevention was dental care: € 675 million. Within health protection, this was the sewer by more than € 3 billion. Conclusions Spending on prevention is relatively low compared to total spending on healthcare. The largest part is targeted at health protection. In the coming years there may be an increase in expenditure, due to more governmental prevention policies such as the National Prevention Agreement. Key messages Spending on prevention is relatively low compared to total spending on healthcare. Relatively little money for health protection.

Construction reorganization, as a type of high-rise construction is part of a basic reorganization cycle in which four phases (phases, states, technological redistribution) are consistently implemented: device, disorganization, reorganization and co-organization. Loft style methodology: the integrated performance indicator organizational and technological operational reliability (OTOR) of the Loft room, which is determined with the help of stellar infographic models, makes it possible to prove arguably the necessity or absence of the need to reorganize the former industrial building. The assessment of the functional zone of the level of the OTOR indicators in the system of the infographic model, in which the number of axes emanating from the point “zero”, corresponds to the number of parameters characterizing a specific functional zone. Valuation parameters are ranked in accordance with their tendency towards centripetal and centrifugal. The field of our research lies in the phase of reconstruction. The determination of the level of OTOR of one functional zone is formed by the construction of two infographic star-shaped models, one of which is constructed by centripetal indicators, and the other by centrifugal indicators.

This study elaborates a methodology for choosing a transport strategy based on the selection of the optimal route and type of transport. The research examines carriage by containers and includes two ways of transportation: by container block trains and by trucks. The methodology consists of three steps. The first step defines the determination of alternatives routes and criteria for assessment. Eight criteria have been studied: environmental protection; economic criteria; additional transportation fare; the duration of transportation; transhipment operations; security; reliability; stability. In the second step three approaches have been used and compared to determine the weights of the criteria: the Shannon entropy method, which is based on information from data, expert assessments by means of the Analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method and the Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method. The third step determines the optimal solution based on the Compromise programming method. The methodology is approbated for routes from the railway and road network of Bulgaria. The results show that the criteria with the greatest impact are: the economic criteria; the duration of transportation and environmental protection. It was found out that the technologies that include rail transport are the best variant of transportation. The presented methodology could be used for choosing transportation for other destinations in the transport network.

Visual Observations

There is a need for a reliable staining technique to distinguish between live and dead organisms following LC50 tests. This is especially so in cases where organisms can be stressed or even become unconscious and appear dead to the aided or naked eyes. Visual observations under such conditions can result in an LC50 value shifting to the lower concentration thereby imposing stiffer guidelines for compliance. Aniline blue can only stain individuals which are physiologically dead imposing an accurate live-dead evaluation and producing a true LC50 value. Guidelines imposed using such data will facilitate compliance and provide an accurate value for an LC50.
